What most people don't appear to understand is the Riders have a small window of opportunity for the final test event. There are only so many performers on tour in this area at any given time and there's a budget to be mindful of. There will be many great concerts in the future.

Ha all the deleted comments make me laugh, why are so many bent out of shape over this?? It's only a test concert, I mean I wouldn't call it major but hey it's nothing to get upset about...c'mon people grow up!

Any one ever buy a car without taking it for a test drive? The way the trolls are responding you'd think this is the only concert to be held at New Mosaic. U of R Ram games none of the concessions were open,the video board was not operating and the upper decks was not used. For this second event construction should be complete and we'll see how things go. If I remember correctly Three Dog Night was the first major concert at Saskatchewan Place in Saskatoon.

stop deleting comments! let the people be heard ..I left a valid comment with no profanity and you removed it! Why? stop trying to gag everyone who isn't pleased..they have a right to be heard ... As taxpayers we're paying for the bloody thing we should have a right to comment on what goes on there... Coldplay Metallica and the Chili Peppers are jumping right over our great province...WHY? Garauntee them some decent cash and they'll come ..Cmon Evraz the people deserve it!

Guess what bud, your "rights and freedoms" don't apply here. If you want to be heard start a blog!

Then he brings up ColdPlay, who are jumping our province in September not May and the Red Hot Chili Peppers who play the night before and the night after the announced concert. And Metallica when Guns and Roses is still trying to sell tickets a month later.
